A Night At The Opera (Christmas Film Screening)

Dir. Sam Wood - USA 1935 - 92 mins

A NIGHT AT THE OPERA is one of the great Marx Brothers comedies featuring some of their most brilliant routines (including the unforgettable stateroom scene). It follows Groucho, Chico and Harpo as they battle an arrogant opera tenor in an attempt to help their friend Ricardo take centre stage and win the heart of Rosa.

"Enjoy the rib-tickling delights of the Brothers' surreal anarchy as Groucho and Chico discuss contract negotiations ("That's what they call a Sanity Clause"; "You don't fool me, there is no Santa Claus!")... it's guaranteed to have you giggling from one end of the musical scale to the other." - BBC Films

"The quick-fire routines are brilliant; the one-liners crack like gunshots." - Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian

The above film will be screened in a party atmosphere with carol singing, spot prizes and light refreshments 30 mins prior to screening.
